I’ve had so much fun looking at new products this time around, for baby #3. While many items that we used with the first 2 kids can be used this time around, I’m very fortunate that I’m able to check out some new items for baby #3 which is so wonderful! One item that both my husband and I were ohhh’ing and ahhh’ing over at Toys R Us recently was the Summer Infant Wood Bassinet. On a previous visit there, he even hauled it down from the top display shelf so we could admire it closer (not sure if you’re supposed to bring them down but we just had to!)

Animal Parade Summer Infant Now, we have a bit of experience in bassinets – this one will be our third! With Elijah, almost 7 years ago, we purchased a playpen/bassinet combo thinking we were really smart for being so frugal. Unfortunately the bassinet was all put useless to us because it was so uncomfortable for him (a very hard base) and completely pointless for using anywhere but in the nursery because it was too hard to move throughout the house. The second bassinet we purchased, for Nevaeh, was more versatile with wheels to move it where we needed to and a much more cozy appearance and feel. However, it was plastic and looked as cheap as it was.

Now this bassinet, this has everything we want! The bassinet has wheels making it portable from our bedroom out to the living room area during the day (I’m determined not to have a hush-hush home environment and ensuring baby can sleep around the noise) and the stylish wood frame with espresso finish makes me kind of want to keep it in the living room all the time to show off! Although, it does match our bedroom furniture quite nicely as well.

A few extra touches worth noting about this bassinet besides the obvious modern look of it. The fabric used is not a cheap-feeling cotton but rather it feels like silk! I love that extra attention to detail. Second, I had gone shopping earlier for a bassinet mattress cover, but seeing how nicely everything matches on the inside too – I don’t think I’ll use the cover.

I would definitely recommend this bassinet to anyone looking for a beautiful place for baby to sleep that also happens to blend well with the rest of their furniture! We love it!

The bassinet also comes with a detachable sound machine featuring womb sounds, nature sounds, and musical melodies.

Now, all we’re waiting for is baby to make her appearance so she can sleep in this beautiful bassinet from Summer Infant!
